So. Cal Fest - So Fun Fest!

We got home from the Smoking in So. Cal. Fest a couple of hours ago. Have now showered and swathed on the lotion! It was a warm day, but to us desert dwellers it was nothing. There wasn't a pool involved, but it was a fun day.

What a truly great event. I can't thank Shad and his whole family enought for putting on a great fest that was so well organized. All of the cooks had ample room, as did the Fest goers. As always all of the people we met last night and today were just the best. Met RsmDale and his wife Susie, loved them!

I am always so shocked by the number of eggers that don't know about this forum. So I preached the Egghead gospel of all the knowledge to be gained by logging on.

Here are a few of our pics. I didn't get many, as I was busy from the get go. I know others took many more pics, hopefully they will post them here.

The traditional (second annual) cooks Jack Daniels toast by Shad.




My betrothed and I, first time cooking at a fest. We served bacon wrapped, stuffed dates sprinkled with DP Pineapple Head, Kalua pork on Kings Hawaiian Rolls and smoked Spam. Yes, that's right I said Spam. Nearly as good as smoked bologna.










Our neighbors, a very nice young couple made a delicious Chicago style deep dish pizza.



I learned so much today about cooking at a Fest and we are already planning on what to cook next year!

Ok, now I need a cocktail and bed!
